Building Regulations
Computer Aided Design, Advice, Structural design and calculations, Building Regulation submissions and approvals.
Tendering and Procurement
We produce construction drawings, schedules, specifications and contracts. We produce a tender shortlist with you and then issue tender packs for procurement of the packages for build and services.

We attend site during the project on a watching brief, to ensure compliance with the specification and to manage change. We are with you every step of the project until successful completion.
Interior Design
We have a panel of approved Interior designers which we happily recommend.
Our comprehensive service includes initial feasibility studies and concept design, where we assess your property’s potential and create preliminary sketches exploring various design options. We then produce detailed architectural drawings for planning applications, ensuring all submissions meet the requirements set by the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames.
Following planning approval, we develop technical drawings and building regulations submissions, collaborating with structural engineers to ensure your project meets all safety and construction standards. We also offer project management services, coordinating with contractors and monitoring construction progress to ensure your vision becomes reality.

How Do We Navigate New Malden Planning Permission?
Our extensive experience with local planning regulations ensures efficient approval processes for residential projects throughout New Malden’s KT3 postcode area.
New Malden’s planning landscape requires careful consideration of factors such as the area’s architectural heritage and conservation considerations. We work within the framework of the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, understanding both permitted development rights and full planning application requirements.
For house extensions, we assess whether your project falls under permitted development or requires full planning permission, advising on the most appropriate route forward. Our knowledge of local planning policies helps us design proposals that are more likely to receive approval whilst meeting your functional requirements.
We maintain strong relationships with local planning officers, enabling us to discuss projects informally before formal submission when appropriate. This collaborative approach often identifies potential issues early, allowing us to refine designs before submission.
